This VP debate will be widely watched and a lot of fun too. I have a suggestion for Trump.

Stage Set for VP Debate

Politico reports Biden Campaign Agrees to VP Debate on CBS

Biden Challenges Trump to a Debate, Trump Accepts

“Make my day” said Biden to Trump in a Tweet, challenging Trump to a debate. Two debates are set. Trump seeks two more. What just happened? Think about that. I propose an answer below.

Yesterday, commented Biden Challenges Trump to a Debate, Trump Accepts, Advantage Whom?

Desperation Sets In

Agreeing to put Biden on the stage twice and now Kamala Harris is an amazing act of desperation.

I see no reason for Trump to do anything but drool over a VP debate.

Pick Tulsi

I have a suggestion for Trump, pick Tulsi. She fits all the needs: young, woman, moderate on abortion, non-white, excellent military service record, not a warmongering neocon, and an excellent speaker.

I believe Trump will win anyway, but the Addition of Tulsi could turn the election into an amazing rout.

Opening Snips

Powerful

Some will agree with that message and some won’t.

But whether or not you agree, she delivered a powerful message, flawlessly.

It does not sound like she used a teleprompter.

Independents, Women, and Moderates

Wikipedia notes Gabbard has generally supported legal abortion through the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, though her views on abortion have changed over time. That is a huge plus over the typical Republican Neandertal.

For more details, please see Wikipedia’s Political Opinions of Tulsi Gabbard.

She has switched opinions on a number of items, having even backed Bernie Sanders. The Republican base won’t like that, but so what?

Where is the base going besides nowhere? The base will not decide the next election.

The more Trump can distance himself from the base, the better his chances.

Gabbard would be an excellent pick who would genuinely bring some energy to the ticket beyond the base.

I don’t expect Trump to pick Tulsi, but she, or someone like her, will be the future of the party.

People Who Rent Will Decide the 2024 Presidential Election

Immigration won’t decide the election. Polls have not yet captured what will. This may come as a surprise, but the top issue housing. More explicitly, it’s shelter costs.

I am sticking with my assessment People Who Rent Will Decide the 2024 Presidential Election

More specifically, it will be a smaller subset of renters who hold the fate: Young voters and minorities.

Gabbard would appeal to both more than any other possible pick I can think of. And if you play the above video, it will be clear Tulsi would smash Kamala Harris in a debate, with the whole nation watching.
